Tires Firestone or Goodyear

The tires are good, BTW. I had them on my old car and was going in circles around others who apparently cheaped out on their tires. Like, had to help get a 4WD pick-up truck out of a ditch at one point.

I ran some good year winter tires for 8 winters before without issue.

I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow

I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.

Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned

So glad I made the move. The scorpions were awful and loud. Very happy with our GYs and they still look more like an AT but we have definitely had an efficiency increase

I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.

Fair warning they're sketchy in heavy rain and temps below 40 f

I’ve had both tires on my Charger. The firestones are very noisy.

The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
